mormont Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I haven't read it, but I understand there is some punching of Nazis. Terrible stuff. Nick Spencer would not approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girl power hasn't been this entertaining since I watched Powerpuff Girls way back when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waiter came over and thought we were Americans, I corrected him and told him "god bless, Cartoon Network". Powerpuff Girls was awesome, but good luck introducing something like Him on today's tv.

I was just thinking that. A cross dressing(?) devil, with a ridiculously over-the-top drama queen voice? In a children's cartoon? Lulz. I still have that Beat-Alls T-shirt.

Nictarion Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 So Scott Synder and Jock's Wytches is back. Unfortunately it's only in serialised form in Image+, but since I absolutely loved that book I'll take what I can get. Even if that's only 8 pages.

Unfortunately it's only in serialised form in Image+, but since I absolutely loved that book I'll take what I can get. Even if that's only 8 pages. odd choice of delivering the series. I'm behind on my comics. Still in shocked disgust at comic shops closing at 5:30pm - especially on a Wednesday in Birmingham. Another black mark against this move. I mean, what kind of comic shop would commit such an evil act? It means I can't get a new comic until Saturdays now and that usually means all the good stuff (saga, etc) is sold out. But maybe less competition with such worker unfriendly hours? On 30/08/2017 at 10:13 PM, GallowKnight said: So let me guess, Cosmic Cube solves everything? Not just that but turns out Captain Nazi wasn't Captain America despite all the BS about it all being "real" etc, at the start of this stupid run. I mean, we all knew it wasn't going to last but I don't understand why Marvel felt the need to make this point. We're all grown-ups and know how superhero comics work - give it to us straight or at least don't flat out lie. Marvel's credibility at this stage is something of a joke. I've been catching up on the latest Spider-man run (although it's probably been rebooted since then anyway). The one where he's head of an international company. I'll give it credit for doing something different but I think part of the problem for me is that it doesn't feel very much like Spidey anymore. I like the banter and the international flavour but it just feels a bit like he's now Spidey; agent of SHIELD. I think I'd have liked it to have been a bit more shameless in it's "homage" of BAtman incorporated and had various spidey's in all the countries. A bit like they initially did with Prowler as Spidey. It might also just be that I find Zodiac pretty lame as well. I'll keep reading though because, as I say, it's something different and we all know it will revert back eventually. I just noticed Slott's been writing Spidey for almost 10 years now, probably making him one of the longest writers of the book (although a quick check shows there are a lot of writers who did long stints on the book).

Civil war was bad, Civil War II was horrible (especially when you are promoting Captain Marvel in the MCU and she's portrayed as a fascist in the comics) but this really takes the cake. Utterly shameless. Anyway, Motor Crush is back and im happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Len Wein has passed away. Very sad news. http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2017/09/10/len-wein-1948-2017 He's one of those guys whose contributions to comics get overlooked, but the significance of his work as a creator and editor is massive.

Nictarion Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Yeah, I mentioned in the RIP thread that Giant Size X-Men is one of my favorite comics of all-time. He created some great characters, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus. Sad news indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tiger Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Okay, a question for the brain trust, do you have a series that is utterly horrible logic-wise, but you consider fun because it's "so bad it's good"? The Ms. America comic is bad....really bad, but strangely still fun to read for me. The writer also got trolled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'm guessing the America Chavez book never got better after the first issue. Judging from what I've seen of the comic online I feel like one of the Issues with Ms America is that the writer don't really get how to write comic books.

The writer really, REALLY tries to be cool and "down with the kids" so to speak. Problem is in the course of this she forgets to really write a fulfilling story. The book constantly hammers you with America being Latina, spicy and gay, as if those are the only things she has to offer. It's confusing as all hell to read, as there really doesn't seem to be much of a point to the first story arc, other than America's dealings with love and girl power. Also, it has people endlessly telling the reader how amazing and fantastic she is. It's like the writer never heard of "show, don't tell". There is clearly passion and energy in this story and im sure the writer worked hard....but the writing is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are completely missing the point. Off course the trolling is bad, what really makes it pathetic, is that the writer of the comic failed to see the obvious insult and Marvel went for it. The attempt worked. The comic got compared to arguably the worst film in the history of mankind and she thought it was supposed to be a compliment.
